I am looking for a safe place to share my anxiety. I was diagnosed with GAD 17 years ago. In all these years it has never been this bad. My body is so tense with fear I am shaking. My husband doesn’t understand most of the time when I try to share my feelings with him. He gets frustrated with me and begins yelling at me. He doesn’t hit me but verbally abuses me. It is always my fault for being emotional being a woman. I just want him to comfort me. Soothe me. Protect me from my fears. I have no one to turn to. I don’t share how bad it is with anyone except my mom. But she is so far away. I don’t have any close friends anymore. Please be that for me.

"My husband doesn’t understand most of the time when I try to share my feelings with him. "
I've had GAD for over 20+ years.
My family understands physical pain, but not mental.
.
This community has been helpful for me, because they do underhand anxiety, and mental pain.
Finally, I'm far from 100%, but I'm grateful for this community and the people here. (hopefully you'll find it helpful as well)
Thank you AnxiousSilver. I am already so grateful to those who have taken a moment to welcome me. I spend most of the time feeling unheard or unseen. Because of that I keep so much bottled up inside me. I figure why bother no one is going to understand. Again thank you!
